Review of Night Teeth

Night Teeth (2021)
6/10
Quirky, Teeth-sinking fun!
7 April 2024
Night Teeth is a different kind of vampire movie that offers shades of originality and had so much potential to be great. The problem is the conclusion as it felt so far-fetched and weak, its utterly ludicrous. Admittedly putting mortal beings such as humans up against the undead did not feel much of a fair fight. Still, the climax felt flat with little wit or emotional impact leaving nothing new.

Far from awful however, as we are tickled with teeth-sinking charisma from lead to lead. The two leading ladies (Debby Ryan) Blaire and (Lucy Fry) Zoe are intriguing with enough mesmerising force to keep the audience entertained and compelled. Alongside them we have (Jorge Lendeborg Jr.) Benny. There chauffeur for the night who is also gripping in his role. At times even though the audiences knows who the vamps are we still seem to be viewing each scenario play out through Bennys perspective. The wonder of what might be going on behind the door is often more tense than the actual outcome. At times i felt myself wondering who to root for, surely the humans is the obvious choice? Still, when i see poor Benny confused and mixed up in it all i mainly need him to survive. His character arc, inevitably appears to find common ground with Blaire whom is batting for the opposition. However once the truce is broken all hell will break loose leaving Benny stuck in the middle.

Style wise and visually this film is stunning as well as the cinematography being crisp. The after effects team have done an magnificent job of bringing it all together. The lightening an mood of the film is spot on with what they are trying to convey. It is by no means a full commitment horror piece, with some great action sequences and location shots to suit it is closer to Blade or Underworld.

Gracing our presence for just enough duration to call it a tease, or a cameo as the industry would say, two of the most beautiful ladies. (Sydney Sweeney) playing Eva and (Megan Fox) as Grace. That gave me enough of a reason to check this film out in the first place and introduce me to new talent.

All in all, not as bad as the score suggests and worthy of a watch.
